After seeing this work, Manager He of the clubhouse showed irrepressible excitement in his eyes.

Although his appreciation of calligraphy and painting is not up to the expert level, he still knows Zhang Xiaogang's famous representative works.

He believes that after this work is auctioned, the transaction price will be at least more than 100 million yuan!

If this work is taken out by ordinary members, there may still be a possibility of a fake, but he believes that with Xiao Yao's status, it is absolutely impossible to take out a fake to send it to auction, and it is impossible for him to be happy.

In recent years, after the joint auction became the business card of the club, Manager He specially followed several appraisal experts to learn antiques and art appreciation. After several years of study, his appreciation ability has been unanimously appreciated by several experts, especially the appreciation of modern calligraphy and painting works, which is the one he spends the most time and energy on.

He knows that Xiao Yao's "Bloodline: Big Family No. 3" was created in 1995 and is the most important and mature one in the series. It has a classic three-person family composition, in which the son in the center wears the chairman's pinnacle and arm bandand, which is the only one in the series, which is very meaningful.

In 1995, Zhang Xiaogang painted only five large-scale paintings of 1.8 meters high and 2 meters wide "Blood: Big Family", four of which participated in the 46th Venice Biennale that year, and this work was one of them.

This work has witnessed the full maturity of the aesthetics of the "Bloodline" series, and it is also an unprecedented large-scale work, which has never been larger than one meter and eight widths before.

In the Nos. 1 to 4 of "Bloodline: The Big Family" created in '95, "No. 1" and "No. 4" depict a family with two girls and two portraits of two brothers, respectively. Only "No. 2" and "No. 3" respectively depict a typical one-child family under China's reform and opening up, which can better reflect Chinese society.

Compared with the yellow baby with the crotch open in "No. 2", the composition of "No. 3" is more elaborate, it is the only one of these four works, and even the entire "Bloodline" series, with a little red* soldier pinned to the chairman's badge, wearing a red armband and wearing a green revolutionary uniform as the center of the picture.

In a cold and heavy atmosphere, the black and gray tones not only express Zhang Xiaogang's color philosophy in the 90s, but also give this work a unique historical weight, revealing a sense of oppressive history.

Li Xianting, a well-known Chinese art critic, described Zhang Xiaogang's "Bloodline" series as a major shift in his artistic career, completely eliminating expressiveness and replacing it with a sleek, tacky realistic style. Using old photographs as the subject matter, leaving no brushstrokes, and diluting the facial structure, he pursues the aesthetic taste of a smooth and tacky portraiture of Chinese folk painters.

Li Xianting believes that Zhang Xiaogang's new creative style imbues the picture with a sense of history and covers the vicissitudes of generations of Chinese characters, and becomes a kind of miniature portrait of Chinese people—often played by fate, even occasionally, but calm as water, full of self-sufficient images.

The painting that Xiao Yao took out is Zhang Xiaogang's most mature and representative work, and once it is publicized, it will inevitably cause a sensation.

The collection value of this painting is extremely high, and it is worth looking forward to what kind of price it will be able to sell for once it is auctioned.

"President Xiao, your work can definitely be used as the finale of this auction, I will contact the appraiser of the auction house to do the appraisal and go through the relevant entrusted auction procedures, I believe that this work will be able to auction a satisfactory price." Manager He couldn't wait to implement this matter as soon as possible.

Soon came the day when the auction officially began, Zheng Xiaowu, Yu Zongwen and Wen Yifei came to the Hanting Hotel together, picked up Xiao Yao, and rushed to the auction venue together.

Although there are not many lots prepared for this auction, there are really a lot of people participating in the auction, and at least more than 300 rich people and celebrities from all walks of life have gathered in the auction hall.

Because Xiao Yao also participated in this auction, and even had a collection put up for auction, even Zhan Tianling, who rarely participated in the auction, came on purpose.

As soon as Xiao Yao and the others walked into the venue, many people gathered around to say hello.

The members of Zhantianling and Xiaoyao Club are the most familiar people with Xiao Yao in the field, and everyone is very close to Xiao Yao.

In addition to these people, Chu Hanxian, Duan Huaixuan, Xia Zhenkui and Chu Chu also came to Xiao Yao's side to greet him.

Zhan Tianling, Wen Yifei and others are the top richest people in the magic capital, and when these people gather together, they immediately become the center of the auction venue, and the people who are familiar with each other will come up to chat a few words after seeing them.

There were too many people around Xiao Yao, although Chu Hanxian and the others had the heart to say a few more words, but this occasion was not suitable, and after saying hello, they consciously returned to their positions.

Sitting down in his seat again, a friend beside Chu Hanxian asked, "Hanxian, who is that young man next to Zhan Dong?" I saw that you greeted him just now, why don't I seem to have seen him?"

"He is Xiao Yao, the president of the Escape, this is his first time in the Demon Capital, of course you haven't seen it. Chu Hanxian said with a little smugness.

"It turns out that he is the legendary President Xiao of the Getaway Society, I really didn't expect him to be so young! When did you meet such a big man? If you have the chance, you can also introduce me. The young man put his arm around Chu Hanxian's shoulders and said intimately.

This young man is one of the few people in the magic capital who can be comparable to Chu Hanxian in terms of identity and status, and the two seem to be very close, but in fact, there is not much contact on weekdays.

Chu Hanxian was very impressed by Yang Shao's plea, and pretended to be generous: "Thanks to President Xiao, who has always regarded me as a friend, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely introduce you to President Xiao." ”

"Thank you very much, I'll set up a table another day, make an appointment with a few friends, and treat you to a big meal. In order to be able to get to know the legendary president of the Leisurely Society, Yang Shao gave Chu Hanxian enough face.

Yang Shao looked in Xiao Yao's direction, his eyes full of eagerness.

If that young man had only been the president of the Easy Society, he wouldn't have been so desperate to get to know him. But after adding the rumors of those two gossip, it is very necessary.

After staying at the door of the venue for at least ten minutes, Xiao Yao and the others came to the middle of the front row and sat down, waiting for the auction to start.
